Size is reduced because of reduced code duplication. Any JS widget like
the one the embedded DS is implementing has to do a lot of common stuff
and all of that is available in JQuery. Since the app is probably using
JQuery anyway if it is doing JS-based widgets at all then the total size
of loaded JS component should be reduced.
